Ranged against the top ball clubs across different leagues in Asia, Mr. Marcial said whichever teams get to represent the PBA will hold their own — loud and proud — after finally determining the two groups for the eight-team EASL.
EASL, but we will give the teams a run for their own money,” beamed Mr. Marcial after the official ceremony attended by EASL heads and respective officials of the founding leagues at the Shang-ri La The Fort, Manila on Tuesday.he added, looking forward to testing the mettle of the teams from the Korean Basketball League , Japan B.League, Chinese Taipei’s P.League+ and Greater China.
Group A, after the draw rites led by CEO and founder Matt Beyer, has the PBA champion, KBL runner-up Anyang KGC, B.League runner-up Ryukyu Golden Kings, and P.League+ champion Taipei Fubon Braves. Bay Area will actually have Manila as its temporary home for the EASL tourney aside from a participation in the 2022 PBA Commissioner’s Cup as a guest team.
But more than going toe-to-toe against neighboring leagues, Mr. Marcial and the PBA are looking forward to the EASL as a historic avenue to strengthen ties in the region all for the development and promotion of Asian basketball.
